Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Ferdinand VII (bust of Carlos IV) 1808-1817 from Chile is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. Chile had declared its independence from Spain in 1810, but the Spanish crown continued to produce coins with the image of King Ferdinand VII, who was still recognized as the legitimate ruler by royalist forces. This coin is a rare example of a coin produced during this period of transition and political conflict.
